walk animation

trying to improve my walk animations

Hi!

 

Take a peek at this diagram, mainly at the heads and torso.

 

 

as you can see then entire character moves up and down.

 

When I am laying out my walk animation I start by keing in the torso and head bob. It makes laying out the legs and arms much easier.

 

Also take note of the "up" position, A forward lean will give the impression he is pushing his weight forward.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Google "walkcycle" and click on the image serch to get more diagrams to study.

I forgot to mention that I really liked your sprite. Very colorful compared to the dull grey armor most people make :)

 

Here is one of a guy caring a sword, not the right perspective, but shows a pretty good example of the arm swing and headbob.

Awesome, much better. Now add the whole body going up and down, it will make it much better. BTW, Mike has done a pretty good tutorial for walking animation, I recommend checking it out:

Awesome, it already looks much better. Now it just some tweaking here and there. Maybe the left legs should be put more forward and so on. But overall, I think you got i!

Great update. The head bob adds a lot.
